Blending essential oils for natural perfumes can be fun and exciting. With a bit of practice, you can create a perfume blend that you'll enjoy many years to come. Once you've decided on the natural fragrance you'd have as your personal scent, preparing it should be next on your agenda.

However, bear it in mind that whatever fragrance may be your signature scent now, may become your worse scent in a few years. So, be careful about making permanent commitment to any natural perfume just yet.

To make your own essential oil perfume, simply get your desired essential oil, a carrier oil, and your perfume bottle.

To a 10ml bottle, add about 11 to 12 drops of essential oils. Shake the bottle to combine the oils, then fill up the bottle with the carrier oil, shake up the mixture and you’re good to go.

Essential oil perfumes are best applied on pulse areas for greater enjoyment.

Blending Formula

There's a simple formula with which you can rightly achieve your seasonal blends of essential oils. This formula finds its root in the strength of an oil’s fragrance, known as its blending factor.

If for example, your natural perfume is a floral blend, of sandalwood, rose and lavender oils, then your blending formula would be:

• Rose, with a blending factor of 1


• Sandalwood, with a blending factor of 6


• Lavender, with a blending factor of 7


• Total blending factor of 14

For this blend, we need a total of 12 drops of essential oils, then the number of drops for each oil can be calculated below:
You can obtain the blending factor percentage of each oil using:

• Rose


• Sandalwood


• Lavender

For the number of drops of each essential oil:

• Rose : 7% × 12 = 1 drop


• Sandalwood: 43% × 12 = 5 drops


• Lavender: 50% × 12 = 6 drops.

So in your bottle, mix 1 drop of rose oil, 5 drops of sandalwood oil, and 6 drops of lavender oil to get your desired fragrance.
